Hi Nille,
I'm the developer of the site (one of the teachers, formerly IT and presently primary homeroom). I've had a look around the site and can't find any nasties, and keep a very tight rein on security on the site for obvious reasons (so development is done on a linux box [so no windows viruses there]) and checked thoroughly before upload, so there are very few attack vectors for any virus to get in.
I've run the site through various online scanners just to double-check and they've returned nothing, so perhaps you can send me more details (btw please when you find viruses on sites email the site concerned, it helps developers because we don't always read unrelated forums
![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
).
Useful info would include:
- The URL where you saw the alert (link deleted by mod until the technical people can look into it further)
- The message that pops up from your virus scanner (does it name a virus, that would help me narrow it down)
Finally, remember that antivirus software does sometimes find false positives. I'll continue to check everything to ensure all is well, if there's anything nasty I'll have it off the moment I find it, but there should be nothing that endangers any user (no auto-downloads and no pop-ups to unsafe locations so it should be safe as houses).
PM me on here and I'll respond as quickly as possible.
